Shocking: Indian docs turn baby girls into boys!

Docs turn baby girls into boys - Hindustan Times: Girls are being 'converted' into boys in Indore - by the hundreds every year - at ages where they cannot give their consent for this life-changing operation. This shocking, unprecedented trend, catering to the fetish for a son, is unfolding at conservative Indore's well-known clinics

The process being used to 'produce' a male child from a female is known as genitoplasty. Each surgery costs Rs 1.5 lakh. Moreover, these children are pumped with hormonal treatment as part of the sex change procedure that may be irreversible. The low cost of surgery and the relatively easy and unobtrusive way of getting it done in this city attracts parents from Delhi and Mumbai to get their child surgically 'corrected'.
